Sadly not. Since the SVA / IVA was introduced, they set the engine emissions for your test as post 1994 (CAT test) as default, unless you can prove your engine is older than 1994. The issuing of a Q plate is done by the DVLA and doesn't affect the emissions decision made by VOSA. Only older Q plates (prior to SVA / IVA) are visual smoke test only.
